Caught up in the whirlwind of my husband's award ceremony, I found myself fumbling with a camera rather than soaking in his moment of glory. It was a wake-up call, underscoring a modern predicament: our incessant need to capture everything might just be causing us to miss the point of true experience. This episode is a heart-to-heart on the delicate balance between preserving memories and actually living them, especially poignant when it comes to parenting. I share my journey towards cherishing unrecorded moments with my family, and I promise, it's a conversation that will leave you rethinking the role of technology in your life.

The anecdotes and insights don't end with my own revelations; we also bring our community into the fold, sharing stories and advice on how to engage more deeply with our loved ones in a digitized world. Whether it's setting down your phone to watch your child play or resisting the urge to document every second of a family holiday, this episode explores how these choices can lead to more vibrant and enduring memories. Through laughter and reflection, we tackle a modern challenge together, inviting you to join us in the journey to become more present and connected.
